With zebra crossings.

"We've abolished the bottle necks of controlled crossings!"

"But we've reintroduced the fun of scrums as cyclists try to negotiate
never-ending streams of pedestrians."

With kerbs to confine cyclists (which become a trip hazard for
pedestrians) or just paint on the road?

Kerbs (people don't trip over them elsewhere, what a silly statemen) or
bollards would do.

They are a trip hazard when *within* a pedestrianised zone.

What you want patently isn't a pedestrianised zone. It's a road,
restricted to pedal cycles, with 2 wide footways.


With provision for parking for cycles outside Selfridges, M&S, etc
etc? (I know cyclists can walk bikes through a pedestrianised area but
I question whether Oxford Street traders want to encourage that rather
than a "park and walk" approach.)

If there's demand for it, why not?


And demand from pedestrians doesn't count?
